Location: Other Palm Springs Properties, Palm Springs, Deserts, California, USA

Accommodations:  Villa House, 6 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 4 Baths (Sleeps 13-15)

A perfect vacation starts with this amazing Palm Springs home for rent. Your world slips away when you retreat to the back yard of this tropical oasis right in the Historic Movie Colony District of Palm Springs. Tropical planting and manicured gardens provide a relaxing sense of peace.

The indoors are covered with hardwood floors or paver tiles making it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Relax in front of one of two fireplaces at night when it gets crisp during the winter. The swimming pool and jacuzzi are heated when mother-nature is not heating. Plenty of lawn and outdoor dining furniture, a gas barbecue, and an outdoor portable fire pit are there to help make an evening a true delight. Wake up in the morning and pick fresh oranges, grapefruits, figs, peaches, and persimmons, depending on season.

The separate two room guest quarters can hold an extra four people, giving a couple of teenagers a feeling of independence. All this only two blocks from Palm Canyon Drive, filled with shopping and great restaurants. In the evenings, the Spa Casino is only ten blocks away.

Four bedrooms and three bathrooms allow the main house to comfortably sleep eight. The separate guest house has two rooms plus a bathroom and kitchenette. One queen and two single beds in the guest house bring the total accommodations to twelve. There is a stereo with a CD player in the living room. The living room and each bedroom have a color TV with cable and a DVD player. Tasteful furnishings and a fully stocked kitchen help make a family reunion or group gathering an excellent event. Pets are always welcome and the property is fully enclosed so they can run around and enjoy with you. Smokers are welcome on the patio.

  • Our family had the pleasure of spending a week in Bruce’s home. How relaxing! In the past, we spend a lot of time sightseeing on our trips to Palm Springs, but with this home, we just could not bring ourselves to leave! We left for food and to walk the dog! The dog park was a great way to start our mornings and the pool was put to use from sunrise to bedtime. The gardens are lush. We did not need to go to the dog park to walk our pet as the yard is quite LARGE, but the park is so close, we could not resist. It was nice to be in the presence of a mature landscape. I actually now use a photo of the large palm trees as my desktop background just to remind us that we need to go back. We are a group of 6 plus one dog and were able to have privacy when we were there! The floor plan is very spacious and the furnishings are nice and comfy. We did not use the second bedroom in the casita or the guest bedroom off of the kitchen, but the rooms we did use were wonderful! We really enjoy older homes and this one tops our list of the best we have stayed in as far as putting us in 1940s or 50s architecture. We wondered when Lucy and Ricky would pop in… As for Bruce, he really is a genuinely nice man. He is accommodating, helpful and it has been our pleasure to run across him and his wonderful home. Bruce, take care and we will talk soon! Mike, Liz, the Kids, Inlaws and Sandy Gurl (Please note, this was sent to me in an email format and I with Liz permission, copied and pasted to this site)

  • I highly recommend this delightful villa! Our family enjoyed the lovely furnishings (we felt honored to be trusted with the objets d'art and beautiful furniture and wall hangings) and the ideal location (a few minutes from the airport, 2 blocks from the village). The house is beautifully stocked (china, linens, etc.) and perfectly maintained. The grounds and pool lend themselves to pleasurable relaxation--everything seemed to say, "Sit back and enjoy!" So we did. None of us will ever forget our days there!

  • We had a great time staying at "Tamarisk." We had a large group of friends and the house was very accomadating with several bedrooms, bathroom, showers, and living room. All the rooms were beautiful. The pool area was the best part and obviously where we spent most of our day. At night we walked into town to eat and drink. Good times great fun, will definitely be back!

  • What a great time our family (from twin boys ages 18 months to greatgrandpa age 82 years)had! The home and grounds were clean and well-tended. We feasted on the oranges on the trees in the back yard that were ready for harvest. The pool and hot tub were in perfect condition. Close to downtown P.S., the airport and (for a quick run for one of the twins) the E.R. at the hospital. We hope to come back again.

  • There were 11 of us (and one big dog) in town for the weekend, and we had a *great* time. Plenty of space for everyone to hang out together (or alone), and plenty of bedrooms and beds. Just 2 or 3 blocks to the main street downtown - a terrific bonus. Heating the pool was definitely the way to go.

  • This property is definitely secluded and private. Our group enjoyed having two seperate living areas and a living room large enough for everyone! Everything thing you need for a great time is provided and everyone has a TV!!

  • Thank you Bruce for our wonderful stay at this great property. Our son got married in Palm Springs and the house worked beautifully for our extended family to stay in. We enjoyed our downtime in the pool and relaxing on the beautiful patio. The guesthouse was a great place for the younger adults to stay! We will definitely be back!

  • Dear Bruce, I recently had a family reunion at the Las Palmas house and it was fantastic. I was so comfortable there, I literally did not want to leave. Thank you so much!
